(September 14, 2008) Brass on the Go? A Look at the 2008-09 Job Search Possibilities Facing Doty, Gunther and Niroomand With at least three current faculty seeking business dean posts elsewhere, USM's College of Business has to be considered the home to the most dean candidates nationwide for a b-school the size and caliber of USM's CoB.
